Great as Plato is, especially in small quotes on singular issues, his ideas led to some truly spectacular misfires in philosophy over the centuries. For example the Republic is a pretty horrific description of an idealised Mega State, ruled by so called philosopher-kings (read "experts").
Horrors such as Hobbes Leviathion and Bentham's Panopticon are direct spiritual descendents of Plato, as are modern entities like the WEF. We also owe a lot of modern, relativist confusion to Plato, or at the very least, a misguided reading.

We have to stop wasting our time pandering to carbonhysterics, playing their stupid game and trying to crossdress bitcoin mining as environmentally friendly. It's a losing strategy akin to apologising to the mob. Bitcoin is agnostic to what kind of energy you feed it and that's by design. Yes, it can and does in some areas provide an economical outlet for trapped energy made using bullshit technologies like windmills but that's not to say it promotes a return to medieval energy production. If burning tyres was cheaper and legal, that's what miners would use and that's great. Mining optimises for efficiency, not for co2. Don't waste your time pandering to these morons, we're running the most important network in human history and we won't bend the knee to fiat academics and their apparatchiks in the media. Reject their premises.

I don't think there's anything else I've read in the genre quite as well written. Considering Simmons isn't even an exclusive science fiction writer, the concepts and the research are really quite astounding. Some of his other work is amazing too, Olympos series and more recently, The Terror. Real high art, literature science fiction 👌

A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M Miller Jr. - fascinating sci fi work exploring the relationship between Church and State (amongst other deeper motives) but not with the usual and very tired tropes of "church is evil and anti-science, iirrational, trust The Science" propaganda that we're used to expecting.

From what precious time I've wasted skimming it I strongly disagree. Seems like a strange cross between Harrari's bizarre reinterpretation of world history and a rallying cry for a fallen American empire. The Keynes of Bitcoin I fear...

Interest rates need to be freed and the fed needs to be abolished. Monetary policy is a scam perpetuated by cheap money. Humbly recommend you check out Mises' explanation on the organic mechanisms of a natural interest rates in a sound money system.

Proof of Stake fundamentally does not solve the Byzantine Generals Problem. It cheats by promoting a field marshall and restoring centralisation in a round-about way. It's an insidious piece of propaganda engineered to reintroduce fiat. Don't fall for it. There is no second best. #bitcoin

I'm sure that's partly why they're embraced so enthusiastically by globo-fiat statists, but I'd argue that spectator sports emerged naturally from a cooperative/competitive streak in human nature. When engaged in organically and out of genuine spontaneity, it's a wonderful example of unifying the bonds and diffusing the tensions between potentially hostile communities, especially on a more local level, where they maybe compete for resources. Just another noble, freemarket phenomenon, co-opted for nefarious purposes by the State.

Same here. Especially after the fiasco surrounding RBF, it's time to take stock and slow down "innovation" for innovations sake. We should take time to properly stress test every soft fork, something which really takes years. I think there's a fair argument to be had that all future development should naturally be self limited to layer 2 and below. I guess it's up to the nodes and the market to start enforcing that. For my part, I'm sticking with v23 for now unless there's a very good reason to upgrade.

I would recommend a second SSD where you can play with Linux until you get the hang of it. A Debian based distro like Ubuntu or PopOS provides a perfect out-of-the-box experience and lets you start getting used to working in the terminal. Once you crack the basics you'll never want to go back to windows as a daily driver. I wouldn't use arch as my first foray into Linux personally.
Why dual boot initially? As many have pointed out gaming compatibility can be problematic. Proton has come a hell of a long way but sometimes you just want something to work and work well in your downtime without faff. Also, unfortunately ,a lot of productivity apps like the Adobe CC need windows. You can get them running on Linux.. just about.. but frankly it's a shit experience. Also, there are times when you'll still just need that dirty second OS to get something running quickly (and you don't have time to track through stack overflow for 3 hours in pursuit of exceptionally high IQ solutions, fun as it may be)..
